Abstract

Identifier dependent operation processing of packet based data communication is provided. A natural language processor component can parse an input audio signal to identify a request and a trigger keyword. A content selector component can select, based on the request or trigger keyword, a content item. A link generation component can determine whether the client computing device has an account or a record in a database associated with the service provider device. In the absence of the record or account, the link generation device generates and sends a virtual identifier to the service provider device with instructions to generate an account in the database using the virtual identifier. Once the account is created, the service provider device can communicate with the client computing device.

Dependent claims

A system to provide network communications between devices to process an operation, comprising:

a natural language processor component executed by a data processing system to receive, via an interface of the data processing system, data packets comprising an input audio signal detected by a sensor of a client computing device having a device identifier;
the natural language processor component to parse the input audio signal to identify a request and one or more keywords corresponding to the request;
a content selector component executed by the data processing system to receive the one or more keywords identified by the natural language processor component and to select, based on the one or more keywords, a digital component via a real-time content selection process, the digital component associated with a third-party content provider;
the natural language processor component to receive a second request to access a resource associated with the digital component;
a link generation component to:
receive a null command responsive to the second request to access the resource associated with the digital component for the client computing device, the null command indicating an absence of the device identifier in a database storing account identifiers;
generate, responsive to the null command, a virtual identifier to represent the client computing device;
and
route data packets based on the request with the virtual identifier to a service provider device to cause the service provider device to process the data packets based on the request to provide access to the resource associated with the digital component using the virtual identifier;
and
the data processing system to receive, from the service provider device, an indication that the service provider device processed, via the virtual identifier, the data packets to perform an operation responsive to the request to provide access to the resource associated with the digital component.

A method of providing network communications between devices to process an operation, comprising:

receiving, by a natural language processor component executed by a data processing system comprising one or more processors, data packets comprising an input audio signal detected by a sensor of a client computing device having a device identifier;
parsing, by the data processing system, the input audio signal to identify a request and one or more keywords corresponding to the request;
receiving, by a content selector component executed by the data processing system, the one or more keywords identified by the natural language processor component;
selecting, by the data processing system based on the one or more keywords, a digital component via a real-time content selection process, the digital component associated with a third-party content provider;
receiving, by the data processing system, a second request to access a resource associated with the digital component
receiving, by the data processing system, a null command responsive to the second request to access the resource associated with the digital component for the client computing device, the null command indicating an absence of the device identifier in a database storing account identifiers;
generating, by the data processing system responsive to the null command, a virtual identifier to represent the client computing device;
and
routing, by the data processing system, based on the request with the virtual identifier to a service provider device to cause the service provider device to process the data packets based on the request to provide access to the resource associated with the digital component using the virtual identifier;
receiving, by the data processing system to from the service provider device, an indication that the service provider device processed, via the virtual identifier, the data packets to perform an operation responsive to the request to provide access to the resource associated with the digital component.
